They run in the same orbit as Erasure, Alphaville, White Lies, Little Boots and a-ha, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Luciano, Julia Sanina, Kylie Minogue and Mylène Farmer, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
